I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires. My nightmares, however, became my obsession.

His name is Michael Crist.

My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

But I noticed him.

I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.

Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.

Because he’s finally noticed me.

Michael

Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika.

My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. That’s all I really want anyway.

Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college.

In my city.

Unprotected.

The opportunity is too good to be true, as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out.

We’ve waited. We’ve been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.

*Corrupt is a STANDALONE dark romance with no cliffhanger. It is suitable for ages 18+.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

​New Adult | Dark Romance

I’ve had Corrupt sitting on my iPad for quite a while now but when I saw that Penelope released the final book in the series, I knew I had to start it asap. WOW! I am so glad I did. This is a new adult, dark romance that makes your skin tingle and your hormones FLARE. This is an intense novel, one that teeters on the edge of consent, and is at times, vicious and evil. There were many moments where I felt uncomfortable reading the text, but the same amount of moments that made me feel alive. I mean talk about a book that ROCKS your world! This one did that and so much more. The main reason why this wasn’t a 5-star read for me though was because it DRAGGED in some spots. It felt like it took me forever to read this one and it’s only a little over 400 pages (something I can normally reading in a day or two). Perhaps some of the novel could have been condensed, however, I don’t know if it would have lost its luster if it was shorter. In any event, it’s a good book just a little overdrawn for my taste.

So, would I recommend Corrupt by Penelope Douglas? Absolutely! If you like your books dark, your alpha males POSSESSIVE and INTENSE, and your heroines BOLD, then this is the book for you. I can’t wait to read Kai’s book next. That scene with him, Michael, and Erika was INSANELY hot, and I need so much more of him! Highly recommended, 4 star read!
